[quote=Anonymous]I have an 8 year old son who has similar symptoms.  We don’t do big trips but getting an Airbnb at Deep Creek or Massanutten or a quiet beach (Sandbridge) for 3-4 days works really well. Keep the home routine while you’re away as much as possible. I’d always dreamed of being a traveling family, so I get how it is hard to give that up.  But I have learned to treasure our little trips.

Regarding her saying you’re hurting her—my son says similar things and I’ve had to accept that in his eyes he is telling the truth.  When his adrenaline is pumping during an episode he is not really processing cause and effect in any logical way.  For example, once I grabbed and held his wrist because he was beating the crap out of me with a shoe.  He later told the therapist that I was grabbing at him so he had to fight me off with a shoe.  He 100 percent believed this to be true.  I could write a book about how understanding this has changed how I deal with him.  Anyway, I’m so sorry you are going through this.  [/quote]
